This would call the method on the application, not on the SO. To invoke
a method on the SO, you would call plSO.send("method_name", null, args);

If you want to invoke methods in the NetConnection, they need to be
implemented in the application. For methods in the SO, you only need
to write Java code if you want to handle the calls in your application.

To catch method calls to the SO on the server, you will have to register
an ISharedObjectListener on it. This is described at
